TOULOUSE LAUTREC ET LE CARNAVAL

 Le Tarn et les départements alentours nous ont offert tant de beaux sites durant ces congés que je vais encore pendant quelques jours les partager avec vous.

The Tarn and surrounding departments have offered us so many beautiful sites over the vacations that I'm going to share them with you for a few more days.

About the painter Toulouse Lautrec, we have visited the château du Bosc where his grand parents were living. Due to a complicated heritage, the couple who own it now doesn't open a lot of rooms and they have lost a lot of visitors after the Covid. No inside pictures allowed.

But the volunteer guide was nice and interesting.

We also went to the Museum in Albi to see drawings and paintings
